Bicipital tunnel disease is often unvisualized during standard diagnostic arthroscopy. Histolopathologic evidence of disease may be present even in the absence of magnetic resonance imaging findings. Surgical decision making is multifactorial.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Growth Factors Levels Determine Efficacy of Platelets Rich Plasma Injection in Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Double Blind Noninferiority Trial Compared With Viscosupplementation.
To assess the noninferiority of a single platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection compared with hyaluronic acid (HA), to alleviate pain and enhance functional capacity in knee osteoarthritis, and identify biological characteristics of PRP that may affect their efficacy. ⋯ Level II, randomized double blind controlled trial.

Comparative Study
Arthroscopic Fixation of Tibial Eminence Fractures: A Biomechanical Comparative Study of Screw, Suture, and Suture Anchor.
To compare biomechanical outcomes of 4 different arthroscopic techniques for fixation of tibial eminence fractures. ⋯ The new techniques showed satisfactory biomechanical properties and provided more choice for surgeons in the treatment of tibial eminence fractures.
-
To prospectively evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosing ramp lesions, to compare them between 1.5- and 3-T MRI, and to evaluate whether bone contusion of the posterior lip of the medial tibial plateau was associated with ramp lesions. ⋯ Level III, comparative trial.
-
To evaluate patients' ability to return to swimming after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) with capsular closure. ⋯ Level IV, case series.
